Los metabolitos secundarios son señales importantes en la interacción planta-microrganismos; sin embargo, los datos que corroboran el rol de los flavonoides como señales entre plantas y la simbiosis micorrízica arbuscular son limitados y aún recientes. Este estudio tiene por objetivo evaluar el efecto de flavonoides presentes en exudados radiculares de Allium porrum L., Nicotiana gluaca y Brassica oleracea var. Itálica, en la germinación de esporas y establecimiento de colonización radicular de Diversispora trimulares. Se detectaron miricetina y canferol en exudados de A. porrum, con un contenido total de flavonoides de 23,80µg g-1, de raíz seca; quercetina, en N. glauca, con 23,35µg g-1 y crisina, en B. oleracea, con 14,71µg g-1. Quercetina estimuló la germinación y la vitalidad de esporas (24%, 40%), a diferencia de crisina, que presentó un efecto inhibitorio (4%, 20%). A. porrum y N. glauca incrementaron la germinación de esporas (54%, 56%) y porcentaje de colonización de micorriza arbuscular (72%, 75%). Los resultados de la investigación mostraron una evidencia sólida del efecto de los flavonoides como moléculas estimulantes en los procesos de germinación de esporas y colonización de micorriza arbuscular.
Secondary metabolites are important signals that could determine the outcome of the plant soil microbial interactions, however, the data available that support the leading role of flavonoids in the communication of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis are recent and limited. The present study examines the effect of flavonoids detected in root exudates from Allium porrum, Nicotiana glauca y Brassica oleracea var. italica on spore germination and mycorrhizal root colonization of Diversispora trimulares. Myricetin and kaempferol were detected in A. porrum root exudates with a total flavonoid content of 23.80µg g-1 dried root, quercetin in N. glauca with 23,35µg g-1 and chrysin in B. Oleracea with 14.71 µg g-1. Quercetin increased the spore germination and vitality (24%, 40%). In contrast, chrysin showed an inhibitory effect (4%, 20%). A. porrum and N. glauca increased spore germination (54%, 56%) and root mycorrhizal colonization (72%, 75%). This results evidence the effect of flavonoids on the stimulization of spore germination and stablishment of root colonization of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
Résumé
The ability of microalgae to remove nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater has been used in recent years as an alternative treatment for discharges from livestock slurry, which generate a negative environmental impact on vulnerable ecosystems. With this background and the feasibility of using microalgae, we have evaluated the effect of Chlorella sp. and Synechocystis sp., in removing contaminants from the pig manure collected from El Prado ESPE. Slurry samples were collected, filtered and autoclaved, and the supernatant was further diluted to three different concentrations of 40%, 60% and 80%. The microalgal growth and pollutants removal property was evaluated up to 15 days in batch culture. The cell density was determined by counting in a Neubauer hemocytometer, and the pollutants removal was analyzed by standard colorimetric methods. The microalgae Chlorella sp. showed a maximum cell growth of 1.70 ± 0.09 x107 cells/mL at 60% effluent concentration on day 6. While Synechocystis sp. showed a maximum growth of 1.04 ± 0.05 x107 cells/mL, at 60% concentration on day 9. On the other hand, there exists a competition when microalgae used as a consortium. The cell growth of Chlorella sp. was higher at all concentrations compared to Synechocystis sp.. Overall, efficiency of pollutant removal were between 40% and 90%, which demonstrate the feasibility of using microalgae in tertiary swine wastewater treatment.
